Contemporary Smocked Dress Pattern / Contemporary, Traditional, Dropped and Inset Yoke / Sleeve Options / Neck Variations / by Ellen McCarn

What makes this smocked dress pattern 'contemporary'?

The bodice is more fitted to the child's body for a more contemporary look.
The added side gusset allows for the skirt to be gathered around the entire waistline for additional twirl factor. There are 3 bodice styles, 5 necklines, 4 sleeve variations, and 2 sashes and a tabbed belt. That gives you 180 possible combinations all in one pattern!

The Instruction Booklet has 49 step-by-step illustrations and instructions for 3 styles of dresses. Ellen's instruction booklets are so good that I have even recommended buying the pattern just to get the instructions.

Details include:
Contemporary and traditional raised yoke, dropped yoke and insert yoke
Smocked, puff, flutter and sleeveless sleeve options
Traditional, scooped, boat, deep scoop and sweetheart neckline variations
The smocking design graph "Lizzie", pictured on the cover, is included, with row variations.
